PUTRAJAYA, Aug 15 ― The Court of Appeal today overturned a decision made by the Temerloh High Court which had barred the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s officers from using the Criminal Procedure Code to remand suspects for further investigations.

“We note there is no specific provision in the MACC Act as to the course of investigation which is not completed within 24 hours,” he said. He said MACC officers can make an arrest under section 49 of the MACC Act and can ask for a remand order under section 49 of the same Act.
